Yesterday, a friend of mine and I sailed my boat from King Harbor (Redondo Beach) back to my slip in San Pedro. I had taken my boat up to King Harbor to get the bottom done at King Harbor Marine Center.
Here are a couple of video clips as we were sailing past Pt. Fermin. I was flying just my 135% jib and the main was furled. I was still making 5-6 kts., with occasionally higher bursts.
The wind was continuing to build and by the time we got to Angel's Gate (Los Angeles Light) it was blowing 18, gusting to 22. The swell also increased as the water got shallower. It was a fairly short interval swell--I'd guess maybe 10 seconds?
Anyway, lots of fun. Take a peek at these few short clips. You can hear the Pelagic autopilot doing its thing in the background. (The Pelagic is a great little autopilot, by the way.) In one of the clips you can also see Catalina off to starboard.
